AutoCAD zero-length lines to stay lines


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hi all,

I'm trying to process one DWG and create another DWG. There are some blocks inside and I used DWGStyler to make it all right. And that works. But there are also a number of zero-length lines for which I want to stay lines in the output DWG. Instead, they are turned to points and converted to blocks. I've tried to set the advanced parameter "output zero length lines as lines" but it is not working. No matter what I do, they become points and convert to block in output. Their position is identical to block position. I need them to stay there, and stay as lines or points but not to convert to blocks. Any advice what to do? Thanks.

Hi @jjaksic22,

Are the points being sent through the DWGStyler? If so, then they may be converted to blocks, depending on the styler settings. The simplest solution would be to use a Tester to route the points you want to remain points around the DWGStyler. These points will retain the styling info from the original DWG file.

Thanks @DaveAtSafe,

you're correct. A Tester with attribute value condition solved it.

Best regards
